The day started very well. I had the day off, and on my side of the planet, Survivor is at 10am, so I got to see it live (as well as the Know-it-alls podcast) for the first time in years. Then, it all went downhill from there. I […]

Like every old time fan of the show, I’ve had my issues with it. First the constant returning players (although last season showed me that it was possible to have a good season despite of that), but lately, my main issue has really been the editing. It makes […]
My problem with Survivor in recent seasons has really been editing. It’s becoming more and more obvious, with irrelevant people being more or less invisible, with misdirections being so obvious that they become directions and such. Case in point this episode, before the challenge, the fact that we saw the […]
And here we are, the first analysis of the first episode of the 26th season. Very interesting episode, which starts very fast on the Favorites side as expected (I don’t remember if it started as fast back in Micronesia). Also I was surprised that I found the Fans […]
As much as I am excited for this season that is about to begin (today in the US, right? I’m losing track with the time difference thing, it’s gonna be tomorrow for me), I couldn’t find myself caring for the new players yet. Don’t get me wrong, I’m […]
I don’t know what to say, nor what to think about Phillip Sheppard‘s return to Survivor. I mean, of course, I knew he’d be back. He was the only thing vaguely entertaining in Redemption Island. The guy still remains a mystery to me. Is he really insane? Was […]
If you’ve read this blog for a while (well, at least since last season), you know that I’m a big fan of Malcolm Freberg. He’s up there in my personal Survivor Hall of Fame with people like Rob Cesternino, Todd Herzog, Stephen Fishbach, Tyson Apostol, Yau-Man Chan and […]
Ah! Cochran, Cochran, Cochcan… John Cochran ranks among the most disappointing players to ever play the game to me. Before his season started, I already imagined the new Rob Cesternino in Cochran. Such a smart young man, such a big fan of the show. He was going to blow us […]
A lot of people are surprised, even unhappy that Francesca Hogi is returning to play Survivor. After all, she was a first boot, how can she be a “Favorite”? How does she get to play again, when more “deserving” players don’t get that chance? Well, disagree with all […]
I think it’s a shame that what most people remember about Erik Reichenbach was his epic blunder in the first edition of Fans Vs Favorites (for those of you who don’t even remember that, he gave up his immunity necklace in the final five and was voted out). Erik […]
